Comment : export or summarize in xml file

Post by conerlius »

Hello,

Is there any way, or any plan, to export the comments and highlights into an xml file ?
The functions summarize comments into a text file works great, but I would like to reprocess the resulting file in order to incoporate the pieces of information extracted from the pdf into a database, and currently I do have to manually "clean" the resulting text file.

Many Thanks in advance for your reply !

HI,

You can already (assuming you have a reasonably uptodate release - the current is 2.050) - see Comments menu - 'Export Comments'

An XFDF file is simply an .xml file of sorts and you can change the file extension if you wish.

HTH
